Golden Boy Promotions’ Ryan Garcia will put his WBC welterweight title on the line against Zuffa Boxing’s Conor Benn on Sept. 12 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Zuffa Boxing co-founder Turki Alalshikh announced via social media Wednesday.
The championship fight will be a Ring Magazine show co-promoted by Golden Boy Promotions and Zuffa Boxing. It will stream live globally on Paramount+ and exclusively on DAZN in the UK and Ireland.
The fight announcement set for Mexican Independence Day weekend in Las Vegas ends a standoff of several months between Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions and Zuffa Boxing, which was co-founded by UFC CEO Dana White. For now, fences will be mended as the two rivals work together with their respective fighters, who began trash talking on social media shortly after the fight was announced.
